Car Description

Car History

Bought this off Wal last October, and unfortunately my insurance has tripled this renewal, so with a heavy heart I have to say goodbye

PFL P reg, Meister Blue, with moonroof, and blue cloth interior. I've also fitted some aftermarket speakers, as the ones in there when I got it were blown, along with these it has several other mods, which I will detail in the appropriate section.

I've only put about 3k miles on it, mainly been used for shooting up the motorway to Carlisle or down to Bath to visit family and friends, so it's not had heavy use, and it's currently sitting at just over 80k (will likely be closer to 81k by the time it sells as it's still in use!)

It's currently fitted with 16" BBS forged alloys, front tyres are ok but the rears could do with replacing, as I had to swap one in an emergency and haven't had a chance to replace them both yet.

The car was originally imported 22/03/2006 and all recall work was done in Japan.

Engine was flushed and serviced with amsoil about six thousand miles ago (by Nick Mann).

Gowf / NutterJohn did the cambelt & waterpump last year.

Six new spark plugs fitted by Mitsubishi Leicester in Feb 2011.

The car comes with service history and various bits of associated paperwork.

Includes original Japanese manual, and English version.

Edit: Pics added

Modifications.

Fujitsubo SS exhaust.

Remapped ECU from NutterJohn

Bilstein lowered suspension

Carbon fibre effect dash.

Panasonic CD player - please note, this is not the one in the image!

Hertz 165.3 component speakers in front doors, Fli Integrator coaxials in rear.

Apexi air filter

16" BBS Forged Alloys

Other information.

Flare still included, JDM yo!

Bad bits

Front bumper has a crack in it, could do with repairing or replacing.

Scratch down passenger side rear panel.

Paint is flaking off some of the plastic bodywork (mainly the rear spoiler) and could use touching up.

Slow power steering fluid leak (needs topping up once a month or so).

Speed bumps are a pain in the ****!

just spotted this on ebay shame we did get to meet up ?

[Haggisman]

I don't think we did

I'm hoping I get a buyer on here, as, like always, it would be nice for the car to stay in the club. Unfortunately I need to get rid of it soonish now, before I'm forced to sell a kidney to my insurance co...

[exevoowner]

yea would be nice to see it stay in the club shame you dont have nother address lol

Hi bud, Just a couple of questions:

1) has the AYC oil been changed?
2) has the ATF been changed?
3) has the radiator been replaced?
4) what kind of condition are the turbo's in?

Thanks

[Haggisman]

Hiya,

1 & 2) The AYC and ATF oil were changed at 65.5k in January 2009, along with transfer box and rear diff oil.
3) Not sure about the radiator, but it looks like a Mitsi original, so possibly not.
4) Not sure what you mean about turbo condition? I haven't noticed any problems with them, it drives fine with no weird noises, and I haven't noticed anything out of place in the engine bay.

Let me know if there's anything else you want to know

Nat.

'just refreshed the page and seen your post - scrap the as above '

Thanks for the info Nat, it's good to know that the fluids in the AYC, Autobox etc have been changed.

Regarding the power steeing fluid leak, do you know where the leak is at all?

[Haggisman]

Unfortunately I don't, the previous owner(Wal) had it checked over, and the garage said they wouldn't be able to find it without substantial work (i.e. stripping the whole system) as the leaked fluid is running down the outside of the pipework, and as its such a slow leak, very difficult to locate. It literally is just a few mls every month, so for the lack of trouble its causing, not really worth the expense =P

Ok thanks Nat, I would like to come round to take a look at it, preferably during the day.

Sent you a PM

Gonna be a shame to see you sell you car Nat, but at least it's been kept local in Birmingham

Probably gonna bump into Kamal if he ends up driving around the city centre in rush hour.

[Haggisman]

Yeah it's a bugger!

Who knows, if my insurance co. pull out their finger and resolve my claim, I may be back in a Leggy in a year or 2

Otherwise, would be nice to maybe see it around occasionally

[Wobble]
